Landrace

Cannabis landraces. The crucial characteristic of landrace Cannabis strains is that they’re domesticated. That means they’ve been selected by farmers for desired traits, whether high-quality fibre, large and nutritious seeds, or inflorescences that are rich in THC. The widespread claim on the Internet that landraces are wild plants, created solely by nature, is nonsense. Landraces are region-specific and have innevitably adapted to their local environment through natural selection. But their fundamental qualities are the result of humans consciously and unconsciously selecting for what they want, in some regions over many millennia. Asian ‘drug’ landraces thus form two main types: strains selected for use as traditional resin (charas or hashish) are found in the Himalaya, Hindu Kush, Central Asia, and Middle East. Strains selected for use as bud (ganja) are found in subtropical and tropical India and Southeast Asia.

The Real Seed Company does not ship cannabis seeds to the USA. The Real Seed Company also refuses to sell cannabis seed to anybody who it believes may intend to use them illegally for the purposes of germination or cultivation.
